I ordered alliums from QVC, they came in good shape, but I opened the package to let the bulbs get air while waiting for spring planting. Inside of two weeks of receiving bulbs, they were mush and rotten. Had to throw them out. I have been requesting QVC and cottage farms to put planting zones on the TV shows when they show info about the plants and bulbs they are offering. They do mention planting zones for a split second during the shows, but if it gets missed, you are just plain out of luck. This happened to me several times and was just out of the items I wanted to grow. I asked the folks at QVC to put that info when they list the product on the air, but that never happened, and I sent many emails to cottage farms and got NO RESPONSES EVER. They still to this day do not put any zonal info on the screen. That is important into that needs to be known to growers who are interested in a particular item. For that reason, I QUIT ordering any plant items from Cottage farms and QVC. If they don't listen to customer requests what good are they and how is their reputation going to last that way.............
